You may only have one user account. Earnings made on any additional user accounts will not necessarily be paid and we have the right to disable any additional user accounts at any time.

Qmee services

Sponsored results

The service we make available through our software operates by providing sponsored results when you carry out searches on certain third party search engines, based on your key-strokes. The sponsored results will be displayed in a separate window and are separate from any sponsored results displayed on the search engine's results pages. Subject to your compliance with these terms and conditions, when you click on a sponsored result in the Qmee window we may, in accordance with our user payment policy (as amended from time to time), credit a small sum of money ("a payment") to the user account you have registered with us.

Cash rewards for surveys

From time to time we may offer cash rewards to users who complete surveys. Subject to your compliance with these terms and conditions, when you complete a survey we may, in accordance with our user payment policy (as amended from time to time), credit a reward into your Qmee account. Rewards will only be credited for surveys that are fully completed. There may be additional limitations on certain surveys or rewards so please carefully read all applicable terms and conditions before deciding whether or not to participate in the survey. The contents of the surveys are provided by third parties and such surveys should not be interpreted as endorsement by us of those third parties. We make no warranties or representations about and assume no responsibility for the content of the third party surveys.

Any information which you submit as part of a survey (including but not limited to your year of birth, postcode or ZIP code, gender and survey responses) will be shared with the relevant survey partner, Survey information may also be aggregated and shared with other third parties. Please see our privacy policy for further details.

Cash rewards for offers

From time to time we may offer cash rewards to users who complete a third-party offer. Subject to your compliance with these terms and conditions, and the terms and conditions shown on each individual offer, when you complete an offer we may, in accordance with our user payment policy (as amended from time to time), credit a reward into your Qmee account. Rewards will only be credited for offers that are advertised by Qmee and fully completed. We cannot be held responsible if the merchant fails to report a user's sale to us. Merchants have their own rules upon which they determine transactions to be genuine - for example, an attempt to simply earn a cash reward by clicking/registering with no intention to continue to use/buy from the merchant's website could be deemed as non-genuine. These rules may or may not be advertised by Qmee or the merchant and may be discretionary.

Extra incentivised activity

From time to time we may offer extra rewards for completing certain activities within your Qmee account (e.g. survey streaks).

We reserve the right to limit, suspend or withdraw the extra rewards at any time, or to change the rewards offered.

Deal finder service

From time to time we may notify you through our software if we believe that a product you have searched for online is available for a lower price on a different site. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the price offered is up to date and accurate but the prices displayed will be provided to us by those third parties and so we do not guarantee that we will offer you the cheapest available price for the product or that the price is reliable, accurate or up to date. Similarly, while we aim to notify you of a price which is cheaper than the price which you are viewing, we do not guarantee that this will always be the case.

Please note that the products offered are provided by third parties and all purchases made will be via third party sites. Your contract for those products will be with those third parties and on their relevant terms and conditions and notification of the price difference should not be interpreted as endorsement by us of those third parties. We make no warranties or representations about and assume no responsibility for the content of the third party sites and we have no liability to you in respect of such purchases.

How we may use your personal information

On creating your user account you will be asked to supply your e-mail address and country of residence. We will also store details of the searches you make when using the service. When you make a request to cash out the balance in your user account we may provide you with the option to submit further information, for instance your age or town of residence.

More information about how we collect and process your data is available in our privacy policy.

Receiving payments

You will only be able to receive payments credited to your user account via PayPal or via such other payment provider that we make available from time to time. Alternatively, you can donate them to one of several charities from a list specified by us, or cash out to a giftcard from a list specified by us. To order a gift card you will need to verify your identity. We will let you know how we require you to do this; we might require you to first cash out (any amount) to your PayPal account or we might require you to go through an alternative identity checking service. If you choose to cash out to a giftcard you will be issued a code to redeem your giftcard. We do not hold any responsibility for the code issued and we will not be able to reissue the code. We reserve the right to remove any giftcards offered at any given time. You will be able to redeem your user account balance at any time, however some giftcards may have a minimum redemption threshold (for example, £5/$5). Please see the specific information provided about each giftcard during the redemption process for details of any minimum redemption thresholds. Options for redeeming your user account balance are subject to change on reasonable notice by us. We will not be liable for any payments owed to you in the event that you provide us with an incorrect PayPal account number or other relevant details. We will also not be liable for any payments owed to you in the event of a catastrophic data, software or server error, cyber-attack or other event that makes it impossible for us to determine the payments that have been accrued.

We are entitled to suspend your user account at any time at our sole discretion. If your account has not been used for one (1) year or more we will retain the balance in the account, otherwise we will pay the balance of the account to you. We may also suspend your use of our service at any time at our sole discretion.

You acknowledge and agree that we do not have the ability to determine whether or not the cash rewards you earned or redeemed through your Qmee account are considered reportable taxable earnings in your jurisdiction. You are therefore responsible for any and all tax liability arising from, or associated with, your use of the Qmee website and Qmee app, including liability arising from your accrual of cash rewards or your redemption of such cash rewards. As a condition of your continued use of the Qmee website and app, we reserve the right to require you to provide necessary tax reporting information if our records show that you are, or may be, required to report the value of cash rewards to an appropriate tax authority. You will find your full cash rewards history is available to you on your Qmee account History tab on your dashboard. We encourage you, as it is your responsibility, to seek advice of a tax expert in order to determine the tax consequences of your use of the Qmee website and app, and any associated cash rewards earned or redeemed.

Friend get friend referral scheme

From time to time, we may offer a friend get friend referral scheme, to users designated by us. For every referral that signs up to Qmee through your referral link, you will receive a reward into your Qmee account, on their first cashout to PayPal or Gift card. Referrals must follow your referral link in order for you to receive the reward.

We reserve the right to suspend the referral scheme at any time.

How we use your data

Lawful Basis for Controlling and Processing your data

Qmee will only collect and process your data where we have a lawful basis for doing so. Lawful bases include consent (where you have given us your consent) and “legitimate interests” where the processing of your data is not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

Sign Up Data

We process this data to have a record of our users. Our lawful basis for processing your data is “legitimate interest”. We do not share this information with anyone else. We will retain this data for as long as your account is open.

Search Data

We will process this data to understand your interests, to deliver rewarded results to you that will be of interest and keep a history of your rewards. Qmee uses an automated system to profile your interests from the searches that you have made. This may cause different or no rewarded results to be shown. The lawful basis for processing your data is “legitimate interest”. We will not share your personal search data with anyone else. We will retain this data for a period of one year. Qmee may anonymise and use your search data for statistical analysis and insight. We may also share anonymised data with partners.

Cash Out

We will process this data to retain a record of your transactions with us. This data is retained permanently as part of our transaction records for tax, audit and regulatory purposes.

Survey Profile Data

We use this information to match you to eligible surveys. Our lawful basis for processing this data is “legitimate interest”. We share this information with our survey partners so that they can also match you to surveys. Some of our survey partners are located outside of the EEA so will require an international transfer of your data, for details see the section on International Transfers. We will retain this data while your account is open or until you remove it. Please note that without basic profile data we will be unable to match you to any surveys. We may ask you for additional demographic data to improve our ability to match you to surveys; these questions are optional.

Some additional demographic data may be special category data which is more sensitive. We will ask you to explicitly consent before we store any such data. We will use this data in the same way as normal demographic data. You may withdraw your consent at any time and we will delete any special category data that we hold. You may control these settings on your profile page.

Qmee Mobile Application

We process this data to ensure that we are talking with the correct user. Our lawful basis for processing your data is as a legitimate interest. We do not share this data. We will store this information while your account is open.

Service Data, Security and Investigations

Qmee may use all the information we store about you to assess whether you are abusing our service contrary to our terms and conditions and to protect other users of our services. We may also use this data to detect security breaches. Our lawful basis for processing your data in this way is “legitimate interest”. We will retain this information indefinitely.

Third party sites

This website contains links to other websites operated by third parties. Please note that this privacy policy applies only to the personal information that we collect and we cannot be responsible for personal information that third parties may collect, store and use through their websites. Once you click on a link to a third party's website, including sponsored links provided in the Qmee window, that third party's collection, storage and use of your personal information is out of our control. You should always read the privacy policy of each website you visit carefully.

Examples of Personal Data that can be collected by our Survey Partners

From time to time, our survey partners may run specific surveys that will collect personal data as part of the study. Before entering this data your should ensure the site has asked for your consent to collect and use this data with a clear description of what will be collected and how it will be used. Personal data should be retained only for such period as is appropriate for its intended and lawful use.

Our survey partners may ask to collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

• Full name, postal address, email and telephone number - Surveys may ask for contact details in order to mail a physical product for review and feedback in a follow up survey; to perform additional identity verification checks; or to directly contact you for follow ups related to the survey.
• Videos of respondents – a video will be collected during a webcam study of the respondent performing an activity, answering questions or watching a video. Videos may be reviewed manually by the survey client, or using automated technology like facial coding to gauge reactions.
• Cookie deployment – the survey partner may occasionally ask to drop a cookie on your internet browser so that you can be invited to specific surveys based on your activity online.

Webcam surveys are clearly identifiable and can be opted out of receiving, or taking part in, at any point.

Remember, you can choose to leave any survey that asks for personal data that you are not comfortable with providing.

The lawful basis for processing your data in these scenarios will be consent.

Data Storage

Qmee uses cloud based services for processing and storing your personal data. Qmee currently uses cloud based services based in the USA, such as Amazon AWS and Heroku, requiring an international transfer. These cloud based services have a Data Processing Addendum to their terms of service to ensure compliance with EU privacy standards.

Your Rights

Data Retention

We store your personal data while your account is open or as needed to provide you with services. Other retention periods are as described above. This includes data inferred from your use of our services. In some cases we choose to keep data indefinitely in a depersonalised or aggregated form.

Rights to Access, Control and Delete Your Personal Data

Qmee allows you to view your personal data on your profile. You can also use your profile to manage the personal data we hold on you and any consents that you have given us.

You have the following rights:

• Delete Data: you can ask us to delete some, or all, of your personal data.
• Change or correct data: you can edit some of your data through your profile. You can ask us correct data if it is inaccurate by contacting us at support@qmee.com.
• Object to, Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using some, or all, of your personal data (e.g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g., if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held). Some Qmee services may not be available to you if you do not want us to store your data.
• Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your personal data which can be provided to you in machine readable form.

Data that we hold because of a transaction with you such as a reward, a cash out or PayPal account details cannot be deleted as these form part of our transaction history.

If you think that Qmee has not responded to your requests in a reasonable manner, you may complain to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) who are our regulator.
